Tinubu honours Ogoni martyrs, reaffirms commitment to united Nigeria
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday reiterated his administration’s commitment to fostering dialogue and healing among Nigeria’s diverse ethnic nationalities.
Mr Tinubu made this commitment in a special message commemorating the 2024 Ogoni Martyrs Remembrance Day.
“As we remember the Ogoni Martyrs, let us honour their legacy by committing to a future where such injustices are no longer tolerated and where the voices of all Nigerians are heard and respected,” the statement noted.
Mr Tinubu further reaffirmed his support for the National Youth Council of Ogoni People and all Ogoni citizens while honouring those who sacrificed to defend the Ogoni interests.
“We honour their memory by recognising the sacrifices made and pledging to strive for a future characterised by peace, justice, and sustainable development for all communities, particularly those in the Niger Delta,” the president added.
The Ogoni honourees were a group of eight Nigerian environmental activists executed by military dictator Sani Abacha on November 10, 1995.
